PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
CautionEDS0005P

When installing rubber parts, final tightening must be carried out under unladen condition* with tires on
ground.

Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushes. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
*: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats in designated positions.

After installing removed suspension parts, check wheel alignment and adjust if necessary.
Observe the following precautions when disassembling and servicing drive shaft.

Perform work in a location which is as dust-free as possible.

Before disassembling and servicing, clean the outside of parts.

Prevention of the entry of foreign objects must be taken into account during disassembly of the service
location.

Disassembled parts must be carefully reassembled in the correct order. If work is interrupted, a clean
cover must be placed over parts.

Paper shop cloths must be used. Fabric shop cloths must not be used because of the danger of lint adher-
ing to parts.

Disassembled parts (except for rubber parts) should be cleaned with kerosene which shall be removed by
blowing with air or wiping with paper shop cloths.

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
CautionEES0006Z

When installing rubber bushings, final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions with tires
on flat, level ground. Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.

“Unladen condition” means that fuel, coolant and lubricant are full and ready for drive. However, spare tire,
jack, and hand tools should be unloaded.

After installing the removed suspension parts, always check wheel alignment and adjust if necessary.

Replace the caulking nut with a new one. Install a new nut without wiping the oil off before tightening.

2. Use adjusting screws to perform aiming adjustment.

First tighten the adjusting screw all the way and then make adjustment by loosening the screw.
If the vehicle front body has been repaired and/or the headlamp assembly has been replaced, check
aiming. Use the aiming chart shown in the figure.

Adjust headlamps so that main axis of light is parallel to cen-
ter line of body and is aligned with point P shown in illustra-
tion.

Figure to the right shows headlamp aiming pattern for driving
on right side of road; for driving on left side of road, aiming
pattern is reversed.

Dotted lines to point P in illustration show center of head-
lamp.

Basic illuminating area for adjustment should be within the
range shown at right. Adjust headlamps accordingly.
CAUTION:
Be sure aiming switch is set to “0” when preforming aiming
adjustment.

For positions of the adjustment screws and direction to turn,
refer to the figures.

When adjusting for right or left side, adjust upper and lower
adjustment screws at the same time.
PREPARATION BEFORE ADJUSTING
For details, refer to the regulations in your own country.
Before performing aiming adjustment, check the following.
1. Keep all tires inflated to correct pressures.
2. Place vehicle on level ground.
3. Set that there is no-load in vehicle other than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position),
coolant, engine oil filled up to correct level, full fuel tank and spare tire, jack, and tools."H" : Horizontal center line of headlamps
